An intensive retreat cultivates a deeper level of spiritual practice in an atmosphere of silence, solitude and community. Persons with an established daily practice of Centering Prayer for at least six months are encouraged to attend. Key elements of an intensive retreat are periods of Centering Prayer three hours a day, twice daily Spiritual Journey video tapes, mealtime reading of Open Mind, Open Heart, times for questions and answers that clarify the Centering Prayer practice, private interviews, and one day of complete silence.
